[pchelpers] Re: I run Spybot and get this:

Perhaps my poor brain ain't conjugating properly but I don't see the big
deal here. Don knows his firewall is running and Spybot is simply giving him
a warning he doesn't really need. Why not say thanks for the warning, ignore
it and exit out of Spybot without deleting anything or going into the
registry to change the dword, etc? These spyware programs sometimes conflict
with one another and spit out warnings about legit programs people choose to
run. And please don't tell Pen how to change the value to 1. I don't want
any late night calls when her registry bellys up:~ )
